IMPROVEMENTS IN PRODUCING PIPELINEABLE BITUMEN

A bitumen is rendered pipelineable by partially hydroconverting the bitumen and then adding sufficient diluent to the partially hydroconverted bitumen to provide a mixture having an API gravity at 15.degree.C of at least 19.degree . and a viscosity at 40.degree.C in the range of about 35 to about 60...

Summary:A bitumen is rendered pipelineable by partially hydroconverting the bitumen and then adding sufficient diluent to the partially hydroconverted bitumen to provide a mixture having an API gravity at 15.degree.C of at least 19.degree . and a viscosity at 40.degree.C in the range of about 35 to about 60 cP.
